A member asked:

I have terrible, almost constant anxiety. is it possible these anti depressants have done damage to my brain?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Anxiety.: I do not know of any medical literature that speaks about this. I do not believe so. Maybe a slight withdrawal effect depending on the medications.
